<p>So I'm a senior in high school in California and just had my counseling meeting for the year and now I'm insanely nervous in my acceptance for college.
My UC GPA is a 3.57 and as a result, feel a bit unconfident about getting into a UC. I figured I have a better shot at private schools.
My SAT I score is 2100
My SAT II score is 700 Math IIC, 670 in US History, and 650 in Chemistry
My weighted GPA is 3.97 and unweighted GPA is 3.37
I take a handful of AP's and have many extracurriculars but they are mostly music based such as participant in Southern California Honor Choirs and All State Choirs, 2nd place in county classical singing competition, Praise Leader at Church, Lead role in the musical, and Certificate of Merit Advanced Level Piano and Level 7 Violin.
I'm also currently in my Church's Student Council, Went on couple of mission trips, and am a cabinet member of my school's American Red Cross Club.
I realize my EC's are not very good or extensive.. but it's what I got. </p>
<p>So one of my top choices in NYU and specifically would consider the Undergraduate Music Business program at Steinhardt.
What are my chances of getting in? Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>I have little doubt you won’t get into NYU Steinhardt (High Match/Match), but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it. Their Music Business program has a starting salary of $40,000, which is INSANELY low for living in NYC and paying off NYU loans (the school is very stingy with fin. aid). </p>
<p>If you ED, you will most likely get into Steinhardt. If NYU is your top dream school, go for it.</p>
<p>I would say NYU is a Reach but bordering on a Match for the OP, assuming midrange on things we can’t tell from info given(what is CR/math SAT1 score, difficulty of high school and curriculum selected)</p>
<p>@cptofthehouse my SAT 1 score for math and CR is 770 and 630 respectively
in junior year I took
AP Calc AB (4)
AP Chem (3)
AP US history (3)
AP Eng Lang (3)
choir
Spanish 3 Honors </p>
<p>and this year I’m enrolled in
AP Eng Lit
AP Enviro Science
AP Calc BC
AP Gov/Pol
AP Macroeconomics
Choir</p>
<p>by the way thank you klouie & cpt for the response, much appreciated</p>
<p>Your ECs are fine. Your unweighted average, which is what NYU will examine is your weak point. Are your from a rigorous school? What approximately is your class rank and where do most of the kids go to college that are in your sort of classes from there.</p>
<p>My son’s close friend was accepted to this program with stats similar to yours, gpa included, and you have better ECs, the geographics are in your favor. She went to a very rigorous highschool where she was in the top part of the second quintile or the bottom of the first quintile. Most kids at that school did go to selective schools. Most kids did get 4s and 5s on AP exams. </p>
<p>A strong showing grade wise senior year would mean a lot in your case, is my opinion. </p>
<p>But you are very much in the running for acceptance here.</p>
